The problem of evil is the notion that, how can an all good, powerful, loving God exists when evil seems to exist also. The problem of evil also gives way to the notion that if hell exists then God must be evil for sending anyone there.I believe hell exists in light of the idea that God is holy. The larger is how anyone can go to heaven. When I look out into the world it does not take long for me to realize that we are all different in many different ways. We all grow up in many different societies
in a world where evil exists, it is logically impossible and that is what created the problem of evil. Problem of Evil: There are two sides of the problem of evil which are the logical and evidential arguments. The logical side states that as long as evil and suffering exists in this world there is no God. That does not only contradict with the idea of God being “all-good”, but also him being “all-knowing” and “all-powerful” as well. Because, if God only desires good, then how evil was formed unless
The Problem with the Problem of Evil I am arguing that the Logical Problem of Evil (LPE) is not a successful argument to reject the existence of God. This is due to the LPE arguing with an inaccurate definition for the word “good”. With the correct definition of “good,” I will show that an all-good and all-powerful God can logically exist simultaneously with evil. A response for my objection could be the Furthermore, if we allow the inadequate use of the word “evil”, the LPE still does not constitute
Does the Problem of Evil show that God does not exist? In this essay I intend to show that the Problem of Evil is a poor argument against the existence of God. I will argue that evil isn’t enough reason to object to the existence of God. I will look at various arguments and objections against each of the Problem of Evils’ premises. Firstly, I will argue whether it is logically possible for evil and God can co-exist. I will then discuss potential reasons of why there is so much evil in the world
The Problem Of Evil There are many events throughout the world that occur, that we cannot explain. The evils that exist are moral and non-moral evils. The moral evils that exist are poverty, oppression, persecution, war and injustice. The non-moral evils that occur frequently but not usually on a daily basis are earthquakes, hurricanes, storms, flood, drought, and blight (philosophy. Lander.edu/intro/hick.stml). These evils happen with thousands of people dying daily for no reason. The problem
The problem of evil is the notion that, how can an all-good, all-powerful, all-loving God exists when evil seems to exist also. The problem of evil also gives way to the notion that if hell exists then God must be evil for sending anyone there. I believe both of these ideas that God can exist while there is evil and God is not evil for sending anyone to hell. I believe hell exists in light of the idea that God is holy and just. The larger is how anyone can go to heaven. I will try to answer the problem
The logical problem of evil (double check if name attached like evidential problem) and William Rowe’s evidential argument from evil, show that a rational belief in God is unfeasible due to the evil that exists in the world. The problem of evil is acknowledging the possibility that God, an omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent being is not actually, all good, all knowing and all powerful. (maybe delete/change highlighted part). If evil exists then how can an omni-natured being exist? (find reference)
are made to explain the problem of evil and why it exists in our world when God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-good. The subject of evil and why it exists is a difficult topic to find an exact answer to, especially when evil is presented in the form of nature. Natural evil and moral evil are two different types of evil that take form and cause suffering to humans. Natural evil is “events and maladies in nature that bring suffering upon mankind and nature.” Natural evil can be difficult to explain
The problems of evil existing in society are difficult to understand is because it questions God’s reasoning for allowing evil to exist. To challenge and better understand God’s motives are the objections to the moral or intrinsic evil actions created by man. An illustration presented in this paper of the immoral evil of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden when they broke their commitment to God in the Garden of Eden by eating the apple. Another instance of a moral evil was the act of murder committed
OF THE PROBLEM OF EVIL BY OKOJIE E. PETER epo4escriva@yahoo.com MAY 2013 INTRODUCTION For many centuries, philosophers have been discussing evil, how it exists in the world, and how this relates to God. The discussion on evil and its relations to us is not an easy one though. It is commonly called the problem of evil. The problem of evil in contemporary philosophy is generally regarded as an argument for atheism. The atheist contends that God and evil are incompatible, and given that evil clearly
